The EndNote Import Format (ENW) is a tagged text-based data standard developed by Clarivate for use within the EndNote citation management ecosystem. It facilitates the standardized transfer of bibliographic references and metadata between online academic databases, digital libraries, and personal research collections. As a plain text format utilizing simple field tags, it presents no inherent security risks and continues to serve as a stable legacy standard for scholarly data portability.
